The NG40 tester supports the following interfaces shown by he green dots in the network diagram below:

2G: A, Gb, Gn and Gi

3G: IuB, IuCS, IuPS, Gn and Gi

3G Femto: IuH, IuCS, IuPS and Gi

WLAN: Gn'

4G: S1, S6a and SGi

Both sides of the interfaces (RAN and CN) are supported by the NG40.

Network Element Verification/Testing

The Implementation Under Test (IUT) is a Network Element (NE) which is under development in Type Acceptance or Field Acceptance. NG40 can not only replace other NE’s to complete the network test architecture but also surround the Implementation Under Test. NG40’s unique combination of load and capacity testing capabilities will reveal IUT weaknesses. In particular the capability to emulate a huge number of mobile devices including ciphering will allow the identification of Core Network (CN) elements lacking robustness. The IUT can be tested under real world conditions in the lab prior to any field test.
